Wasteland of the Free

[00:00:26] We got preachers dealing in politics and diamond mines

[00:00:33] And their speech is growing increasingly unkind

[00:00:40] They say they are Christ's disciples

[00:00:44] But they don't look like Jesus to me

[00:00:47] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:00:56] We got politicians running races on corporate cash

[00:01:04] Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them peoples' ass

[00:01:12] You may call me old-fashioned

[00:01:14] But that don't fit my picture of a true democracy

[00:01:21] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:01:28] We got CEO's making two hundred times the workers' pay

[00:01:36] But they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage

[00:01:43] And If you don't like it mister they'll ship your job

[00:01:48] To some third-world country 'cross the sea

[00:01:52] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:01:59] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:02:08] Where the poor have now become the enemy

[00:02:13] Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones

[00:02:18] Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy

[00:02:22] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:02:30] We got little kids with guns fighting inner city wars

[00:02:38] So what do we do we put these little kids behind prison doors

[00:02:45] And we call ourselves the advanced civilization

[00:02:54] That sounds like crap to me

[00:03:00] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:03:04] We got high-school kids running 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess

[00:03:06] Who cannot pass a sixth-grade reading test

[00:03:09] But if you ask them they can tell you

[00:03:14] The name of every crotch on mTV

[00:03:19] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:03:32] We kill for oil then we throw a party when we win

[00:03:39] Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin

[00:03:47] But he's standing up for what he believes in

[00:03:51] And that seems pretty damned American to me

[00:03:54] And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free

[00:03:57] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:03:59] Where the poor have now become the enemy

[00:04:04] Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones

[00:04:24] Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy

[00:04:26] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:04:33] While we sit gloating in our greatness

[00:04:37] Justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea

[00:04:43] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:04:52] Living in the wasteland of the free

[00:05:00] Living in the wasteland of the free
